5 Oral quiz Determine the format that you will use to
test: pairs or individuals. If you have an odd
number of students, you will interact in the
assessment with the student who doesn’t
have a partner.
Arrange an appropriate space for oral
assessment. Assessment should be
conducted outside the classroom,
according to the way you normally provide
one-on-one feedback to students (e.g. an
empty classroom, a quiet part of the
hallway, etc.).
New students explain and model what
students are supposed to do in the oral
quiz. While you are out of the class, have
students work on their projects with their
teams.
i. Each oral/speaking quiz consists of a
bank of items divided into four sets:
Student A, Student B, Student C and
Student D. Each set assesses similar
language points. In the Academic
Operation area we advise assessing
students in pairs (student with student,
with teacher or examiner observing) or
individually (teacher with students). Unit 7

You can use either the Student A -

ii. Individuals: Lead a one-on-one
conversation with a single student. Take
the role of Student A (or C), and assign
the student the role of Student B (or D).
Give the student a copy of only his or
her part. Take turns asking and

 answering the questions. Individual
testing may take 2½ to 3 minutes per
student.
iii.Pairs: Oral/Speaking quizzes can be
taken by pairs of students. Assign the
students in each pair the roles of
Student A and B or of Students C and D.
Do not mix the roles (you cannot mix A
and C, or A and D, because the
conversation will not make sense). Give
the student a copy of only his/her part.
Students must take turns asking and
answering questions. Pair assessment
may take 3 minutes per pair. If students
take longer than 3 minutes for the
speaking test, you should politely
interrupt them and tell them you have
gathered enough information and the
test has finished.
iv. No matter how you administer the
oral/speaking quiz, you must attend
each session to listen to all students to
ascertain their grades and to be able
to give relevant feedback.
